To start, I consider gaming a guilty pleasure. What I personally enjoy in it all is the potential we as people have for creation. I make images and write stories because I love the idea of building a world that everyone can throw their part into. I would very much like to enter the gaming industry simply to be a part of that process. That definitely affects how I experience E3. 

This year I feel this awkward balance. I've only watched the XBox presentation from yesterday morning and an assortment of trailers since. In terms of games, I am very happy to see each company exploring new, large ideas. Some of the developers seem extremely apologetic and careful, I take it due to the controversy with Xbox One, but the artists and creators all seemed sincerely jazzed up. I really prefer that energy over that of the business-minded reps who just introduce a product without love, like peddling some drug to an addict. I will admit I was a bit annoyed by those aforementioned developers, but really, the trailers for Zelda and Assassin's Creed seriously overshadowed whatever annoyance I felt at the time.
